coreutils 4.5.2 fail to build on AIX

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

coreutils 4.5.2 fail to compile on AIX.  This is the error message:

This is  a patch to fix the problem:

After fixing this the compile fails with a new error message:

After fixing this I ran into another problem:

I gave up after this.

I'll try to find time to keep porting this program to AIX later.
Please include the patches in the next version.
